What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and scale SaaS and AI-driven products through customer development, product analytics, UX improvements, and end-to-end product delivery.

I'm building a SaaS product in Telegram at Extraterrestrial Solutions, where I increased ARPPU by 15%, improved activation by 20%, and reduced time-to-value by 10% through onboarding, UX, and segmentation improvements.

I own end-to-end product delivery and use JTBD interviews, product analytics, quarterly OKRs, and cross-functional coordination to validate product-market fit and accelerate the Aha-moment. Previously, I delivered enterprise web products at DALEE Digital Agency, leading teams of up to 20 people and managing project budgets up to approximately $150K.
